She's a Waterfall
Rhythmic Reflections: Embracing Life's Flow with a Waterfall Friend
Lyrics
Sometimes the water's running a little too fast
Sometimes, the flow of life or experiences is too fast.
Sometimes the water's running a little too slow
Other times, life or experiences move too slowly.
But understanding it all I've got a friend
Despite life's complexities, the singer has a supportive friend.
And she's a little like August rain
The friend is compared to August rain, symbolizing refreshing qualities.
Falls in the morning ugly as sin
The rain falls in the morning, seemingly unattractive.
Falls in the evening a rainbow begins
In the evening, the rain transforms, creating beauty like a rainbow.
I tell her all
The singer confides in the friend, sharing everything.
She takes it all in
The friend listens and accepts everything shared.
She's my best friend
The friend is described as the singer's best friend.
When my world wears a little thin
The friend supports the singer during challenging times.
She falls down as sparkling wine
The friend is compared to sparkling wine, signifying joy and effervescence.
Turns into dew drops and then
The friend transforms into dew drops, perhaps symbolizing purity.
Holds out her hands
The friend extends hands, suggesting openness or assistance.
I counted all her fingers
Counting fingers may imply attention to details or appreciation.
Laughs the world away
The friend laughs away the troubles of the world.
I just follow the sound
The singer follows the sound of the friend's laughter.
Around & around
There's a continuous, circular nature to this following.
Around & around & around & around
The repetition emphasizes the enduring nature of the friend's support.
Sun filters through my shades
Sunlight enters, but there's no respite in this situation.
But there's no shade in this place
Lack of shade suggests a challenging environment.
For someone who's boots have been
The singer's journey or experiences have gone too far.
Further than they should have been
Reference to boots implies a physical or metaphorical journey.
But at the end of somedays I need some place to be
Despite challenges, the singer seeks a place to belong.
There's a waterfall
A waterfall symbolizes a constant, powerful, and renewing force.
She falls down as sparkling wine
Reiteration of the friend's transformative qualities.
Turns into dew drops and then
The transformation into dew drops signifies change and renewal.
Holds out her hands
The friend extends hands again, offering support.
I counted all her fingers
Counting fingers emphasizes the tangible, human connection.
Laughs the world away
The friend laughs away troubles, maintaining a positive outlook.
I just follow the sound
The singer follows the sound of laughter, seeking solace.
Around & around
Repetition highlights the ongoing nature of this support.
Around & around & around & around
All the shallow waters in which to swim
The friend provides shallow waters for swimming, implying safety.
All the crazy places I've been
Recollection of diverse and adventurous experiences.
All the really good sins
Reflection on indulging in enjoyable, harmless activities.
Lazy, splashing, fun
Describing these activities as lazy, splashing fun.
All the best places to hide
Suggesting the friend as a place of refuge during difficult times.
When winter comes
Winter symbolizes challenges, and the friend is a comforting presence.
She's a waterfall and that's all
The friend is metaphorically described as a constant and comforting force like a waterfall.
